I recently discovered in my back garden 4 spiders that had a strange apperance, in the photo i have attached i am aware the quality isnt great but could somebody give me an idea as to waht type it might be. fro mthe descritipns i found i think it mgiht be a false widow spider.

It is a False Widow, but it looks more like a Steatoda nobilis to me. I've enlarged the image on my computer and it seems to me that on its abdomen this spider has the pentagon-shaped creamy pattern characteristic to S. nobilis. Its legs are closer to a reddish (nobilis) than a greyish-green (grossa).
